Zelenskyy: Ukraine defeats Russia through will, technology, resilience, dignity
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy congratulated Ukrainians on the country’s Independence Day and emphasized the strengths of Ukraine and all its citizens that help maintain the front line.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy praised his nation on its Independence Day, highlighting the qualities that have allowed Ukraine to resist Russia's full-scale war. Six hundred and forty-three days into the conflict, Zelenskyy acknowledged the immense difficulty faced by all Ukrainians, but insisted that a powerful force binds them together.
This force is not intangible; it stems from mutual support, confidence in one's companions, and belief in the Ukrainian people. As long as the enemy cannot breach this collective spirit, Ukraine will not succumb and will ultimately secure peace, Zelenskyy asserted. The president noted that Russia's attackers had considered Ukraine's resources, supplies, and military equipment during their planning, but overlooked the indomitable will, resilience, and dignity of the Ukrainian people.
Through these intangible qualities—such as preserving tenderness, honesty, and a readiness to help others without question—the nation has proven itself to be a hundredfold stronger than Russia, Zelenskyy emphasized.
